NOTICE TO REINBECK CITIZENS

 The Reinbeck City Council is in the process of raising water and sewer rates.  The first reading of the ordinance occurred on February 6, 2006.  The rate changes are:                                             

                                  Water                           Sewer

Old Base Rate              $7.75                           $22.10

New Base Rate             $7.75                           $23.10

Old 100 CF Rate           $2.10                           $ 3.90

New CF Rate                $2.48                           $ 4.40

 The sewer rate increase is a requirement by the DNR that we have rates set to collect enough funds to make the yearly payment on the loan.  This increase meets that requirement.
